Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Thirty percent new oak is their carmenere in here or not. Masculine pencil lead undertones oaky should open up

Decent, finishes thin. 2nd day was hoping for more.

The oak overwhelms a bit at this stage.

A bit heavier and drier than I like.

Too early (2010), but after a while in the decanter it settled in to a very enjoyable and layered left banker

Dry, mild leather/sweat, underrippened berry, cherry, hints of blueberry, milk chocolate in the finish, subtle bouquet, a bit imbalanced

Proper pauillac. Yum.

I agree with the ratings on here. Not incredible but a nice dirty left bank. Hoped for a bit more, with age it'll be better but not falling head over heels on this guy.
